Creator's Key Takeaways
This was my very first time sailing with Princess. 6 days around the British Isles, and I had all the same questions you probably do.
I arrived around 10:00 a.m. and was on board by 10:30 a.m. Yes, really.
Regal Princess is an elegant ship. Not over the top, not in your face, but classy.
The medallion does everything from opening your cabin door automatically to letting staff know where you are so they can bring drinks or food to you.
